thanks barb,
he got weighed by a nurse and she didnt say anything about it, just filled out his book.
his birth was a bit dramatic, he had been in distress when my waters broke 5days overdue, my ctx stopped after a few hours 3 times over a week before my waters broke. i ended up having synto cos my ctx stopped again and his heart was being funny, was born 3hr 45min after the drip was put in with apgars of 9 & 9. he was only mildly jaundiced. https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...-johannes.html if you want to skim read, but its a bit long...he was back up at his birth weight on day 10. he didnt feed well, we had some attachment issues (apparently to do with him getting the pethadine). he is only having 2-3 pooey nappies a day (with normal yellowy poo with bits of white stuff) but every other time i change him (just before or just every feed generally) he has a wet nappy. his poo stains everything everytime, not sure if thats normal or not...
i tried waking him for an extra feed last night and he absolutely did not want to wake up and wouldnt feed, only swallow when i expressed into his mouth.
he does have a dummy, mainly cos he was wanting to chew/suck on my nipples 24/7 without actually feeding more than he is now... he also gets quiet restless and just chews on my nipple and fusses in the middle of feeds sometimes which i assume is wind.
my MIL is an midwife and ABA member, not sure if shes an actual lactation consultant tho. we are in adelaide's north eastern suburbs.

not sure if this would effect it but he has had really bad rash coming and going on his face, head & neck which we think is an allergic reaction to something im eating, im seeing a natropath on monday to try and resolve that.
